This is a beautifully restored 1928 roadster pick up. This is all steel body, not the repro cab, the original cab. There are alot of powder coated parts. The black is OEM, Its just a shade under the real shinny black. I payed close attention to every little detail on the car. The body and paint was done professionally. The rear end was disassembled and parts that were needed were replaced. Also the transmission was gone through as well as the brakes. The radiator was re cored . Tires have a little over 2,500 miles on them. The king pins and front wheel bearings are also new. The steering column was not taken apart and is a 1930/31. The engine was purchased from a friend, cant say exactly how many miles is on it, he thought it had over 10,000 after an engine re builder in Ashland, Oregon went through it. It runs,and shifts good. The engine doesnt use oil and doesnt heat up on the hottest of days.The brakes work real good considering they are the original style mechanical brakes. The top bows are original, the top is a LE Barron Boney. The back window center rolls up for nice cooling in the summer.The seat and door panels are the original style and color. The seat has had extra padding installed for more comfort. The lights all work,it has a drum tail light in the rear and fluted head light lens.The dog rode in the car and put a few small scratches on the seat. I didnt build this car to sell it, but do to unfortunate circumstances I am selling it.If you like the pictures, the pick up is even more attractive when seen in person. If sold out of the state of Oregon I would like to keep the 1928 license plates. If you would like to drive and inspect the pick up you are welcome to.The vehicle is sold in as is condition. I would like $200.00 deposited in PAY PAL very shortly after end of auction. Within 7 days after end of auction, I would like a check sent to me for the balance of the amount. When the check clears the car can be picked up.Also I will store the car for you for a month or possibly longer after auction. If you would like more information, call me at 541 899 7176. Also I can give you a number of a reputable model a engine re builder in this area who rode in and looked the car over. Please dont bid unless you are serious. Buyer is responsable for shipping.Thanks.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).
A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
